According to a survey implemented consumers think that 3% threshold in GM products is low and should be strengthened To prevent GM products from commingling with Non-GM products, it is necessary to separate the production, harvesting, storage, handling and processing of GM products and Non-GM products. It is judged that identity preservation (IP) systems create an additional cost to seed producers, commercial farmers, grain elevators and handlers, processors and food manufactures. Cost/benefit analysis demonstrates that social cost exceeds social benefit as standards get more stringent. Therefore, based on the results it would be premature to set more stringent threshold in GM products.
